This study aims to understand whether prior environmental footprint helps firms to be more resilient against penalties following environmental violations. While the allocation of resources to diminish the company's environmental footprint might be considered detrimental to its financial recovery, the natural resource-based view argues that environmental capabilities may foster firm resilience when

Building on the mixed gamble perspective, we examine family versus nonfamily firms’ propensity to increase or decrease their internationalization in response to different sources of risk. Our framework explains how a firm's mixed gamble calculus of internationalization can change as it adjusts to business, industry, and institutional circumstances. Using an unbalanced panel of 1031 publicly traded

Although pre-entry startup experience is widely recognized as a driver of innovation in new ventures, a core feature of new venture teams is that their membership is fluid. In this article, we theorize and test whether venture team membership fluidity incrementally explains new venture innovation. We also investigate and demonstrate that team fluidity conditions the impact of pre-entry startup experience

Entrepreneurial activity is a continuous learning process that is rife with uncertainty, and the dialectical interactions arising from knowledge differences and knowledge conflict among individuals on an entrepreneurial team influence team members’ entrepreneurial learning. By reference to fear of failure and entrepreneurial resilience, this study investigates the dual paths by which entrepreneurial

The development of science and technology has been increasingly linked with the implementation of science and technology innovation (STI) policies with important strategic significance for promoting national and regional innovation. In actual implementation, many types of STI policies are often combined for a joint effect; however, existing studies tend to focus on the effect of a single policy. The

This study employs dynamic capability view theory to comprehend the interplay between big data analytics capability (BDAC), responsible research and innovation (RRI) and circular economy practices (CEPs) as an execution strategy for improving environmental performance. The study uses partial least square structural equation modelling to analyse primary survey data collected from 326 manufacturers.

Sustainability as a vital purchase criterion in sustainable consumption contexts is often biased by misguided information. In this context, we investigate the hindsight bias, i.e., consumers think in hindsight that they knew what would happen all along, may lead consumers to think they evaluated attributes of unsustainable or sustainable products correctly all the time while they did not, devaluating

Successful exits are important outcomes for young technology firms. Research has investigated how individual resources affect exit, but both foundational RBV scholarship and newer microfoundations work suggest the need to examine resource configurations in specific contexts. Using an abductive approach and fsQCA methodology, we explore how resource configurations affect exit in the U.S. minimally invasive

Methodological developments are critical for driving theoretical advancements in international business (IB) due to the field's diversity regarding disciplinary, theoretical, and conceptual bases. We provide an accessible introduction to two methodological approaches—one related to design and one to analysis—that are currently underutilized in IB despite their great potential: (a) field and quasi experiments

Nowadays, many companies face to adopt environmental strategies (ESs) that improve performance and fulfill the requirements of stakeholders. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between the choice of ES and environmental performance (EP) and also to examine the moderating effect of stakeholder pressure (SP) on this relationship. Additionally, it tests the direct impact of SP on

The recent decline in wild populations of amphibians worldwide coincides with the period of rapid growth in the global trade of wildlife. The potential for pathogen transmission within and beyond the pet amphibian trade network makes it important to explore the attitudes and behavior of businesses involved in the industry. We surveyed US businesses involved in the pet amphibian trade industry to characterize

The double externalities of green technological innovation and disadvantages of the traditional extensive development of manufacturing industries hinder the transformation of green technological innovation in manufacturing industries. Traditional research based on behavioral logic rarely focused on the subjective will of innovation subjects or the impact of environmental regulation. To unlock the development

The study proposes a social learning perspective for corporate environmental performance (CEP), drawing on the social network approach. We examine how a firm's board interlock connections affect its CEP through direct and indirect social learning processes. Moreover, we argue that a firm's board interlock ties to other well-connected firms amplify the effects of social learning on CEP. Empirical analyses

Motivated by the limited attention given to the impact of top management teams on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), this study sets out to identify the extent to which companies engage in SDG reporting and assess the impact of top management team diversity on SDG reporting based on the upper echelons theory. The data were collected by analyzing the sustainability reports of the listed entities

Do stronger relationships with customers (customer-company relationships [CCR]) help firms better weather economic crises? To answer this question, we examine firm performance during the stock market crashes associated with the two most severe economic crises of the last 15 years—the protracted Great Recession crisis (2008–2009) and the shorter but extreme COVID-19 pandemic crisis (2020). Juxtaposing

While an economic paradigm has been productive for entrepreneurship, religion has been proposed as an alternative rationality to advance research in our field. To extend a theological turn in entrepreneurship and identity research, our study inductively develops a conceptual model that explains how individuals navigate entrepreneurial identity threats based on the interaction between a relational identity

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in emerging economies strive to achieve and sustain their financial and competitive positions in a dynamic resource-constrained environment. The concept of resource bricolage has received little attention in the literature on emerging economies. To fill this gap, we draw perspectives from the resource-based view to examine the impact of resource bricolage on

We investigate whether the quality of financial markets matters for the relationship between net external financing, voluntary carbon disclosure and firms' cost of capital. External financing needs may create incentives for firms to engage in environmental strategies, such as disclosing their carbon emissions in response to demands from stakeholders. In countries with low financial market quality,

Building on the dynamic capabilities literature and natural-resource-based view, the paper examines whether firms can attain sales growth through a range of sustainability-oriented dynamic capabilities including (1) internal green supply chain management capabilities, (2) external green supply chain management capabilities and (3) green political capabilities. Based on a dataset of 277 public US firms

This paper reports on a quantitative study of prioritisation of biodiversity amongst small- to medium-sized enterprise (SME) leaders. Existing research indicates that value orientation impacts propensity for pro-environmental behaviours. However, as biodiversity loss remains inadequately addressed, this study employs the value-belief-norm framework to explore how leaders with strong biospheric and

The past few years have witnessed a proliferation of corporate net zero emission targets. Despite their growing prominence, little is known about firms' motives for, strategies towards and response pathways of net zero. This paper seeks to narrow the current gap in understanding through an analysis of 30 interview responses. We find evidence that net zero targets have been propelled by a combination

With the remarkable progress made in the field of artificial intelligence, there is growing concern about the possibility of robots posing a threat or danger to humans and the robot is crowding more and more people out of their jobs. The epidemic period also witnessed an unparalleled increase in the demand for technology products. This empirical study investigates several aspects of Knowledge Management

Digital entrepreneurial narratives compensate for the limited interactivity of traditional entrepreneurship narratives. This is achieved by incorporating elements of social entrepreneurship into tangible, real or fictional scenarios, thereby providing immersive experiences for the audience. In this sense, social entrepreneurs construct shared meanings and form socially identifiable values through the

The two premises that underpin this SEJ Special Issue on Environmental Change, Strategic Entrepreneurial Action, and Success are that all environmental changes provide positive potentials for some ventures, and that this has been under-emphasized in past theory and research. After stating these premises and illustrating how present research treats the environment, we proceed to explain how the five

This paper assesses how environmental, social, and governance (ESG) news influence Portuguese stock market volatility depending on the business cycle. Given the lack of an adequate index to capture the effects of ESG media on the Portuguese stock market, a News Sentiment Index is developed. This index, which captures positive and negative ESG news on companies listed in the Portuguese Stock Index (PSI-20)

We investigate how strategic leaders of an incumbent firm frame exploration of digital opportunities at the interfaces of organizational hierarchy. Digital technologies create an unbounded array of opportunities that may pose challenges to the strategic coherence of corporate entrepreneurship activity. Our analysis reveals that top management teams (TMTs) adopt a paradoxical framing of exploration

Investors are looking for objects in which they invest their funds successfully, evaluating the effectiveness of alternative markets and their instruments. Historically, cash flow indicators most effectively reflected the mood of the masses in relation to any financial asset, both in the short-and long-term. This article examines in detail the queue of already completed, but not confirmed transactions

This paper explores the application of message framing as a management practice to promote change in employee behaviour for corporate sustainability. We conduct a field experiment in a German automotive company to test the effects of three different frames (emotional, normative and gain) on pro-environmental actions in relation to electric vehicle choices of 170 employees. The frames are applied via

Today's conventional wisdom on competitive strategies advanced at a time when climate change was not an issue. However, increasing requirements for decarbonization may be affecting the soundness of well-established knowledge, which includes the effect of competitive strategies on performance. Based on 15 years (2005–2019) of panel data on 1264 publicly traded corporations from 34 countries, we find

Sustainability research is vast and complex, making it difficult to grasp the big picture. To help researchers understand the field better, we created a comprehensive knowledge map of sustainability in management literature by utilising citation-based clustering and text mining techniques to analyse 25,737 sustainability-related papers across 22 academic disciplines, as categorised by the Chartered

There has been increasing interest on how organisations address the four dimensions of sustainability. Despite calls for a holistic perspective, empirical research on sustainable organisations has been carried out on (1) engagement efforts, focussing inside the organisation, i.e., the system elements engage with sustainability, or (2) efforts to contribute to sustainability, focussing outside the organisation

Our study explores the differences in necessary and sufficient conditions for producing (dis)satisfactory guest experiences between Airbnb and hotels, intending to develop competitive strategies for the hospitality industry. Using advanced Natural Language Processing techniques, we analysed user-generated content from both platforms in the Andalusian market, utilising Contextualised Topic Modelling

As the world is becoming more VUCA for business operations, organizations are leveraging the competitive advantage through their supply chain practices. The food supply chain is no exception. Being competitive has become imperative in terms of sustainability and accountability of the business process. Therefore, organizations are adopting blockchain to track and trace the information flow to ensure

Via a study of the corporate venture capital (CVC) unit of a multinational corporation, we examine how CVC contributes to strategic renewal. We find the commonly featured direct path to renewal to have limited impact as access to venture technology is constrained by key external institutional barriers. By contrast, we highlight a less studied, but potentially more important, indirect path: the unit's
